If the dimensions of the yard are \"x\" by \"y\",
\n" ); document.write( "the perimeter is the distance around the yard.
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+x+%2B+x+%2B+y+%2B+y+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+2x+%2B+2y+\"
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+%2B+2y+%3C=+50+\" ft
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by \"2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+y+%3C=+25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
